Unusual Sights

I’ve got three unusual sights for you today. Or rather, one unusual sight at three different zoom levels to highlight the oddities.

First, admire this peaceful scene:
That’s right. Five cats, one bed. That’s unusual in itself, but when you consider that nobody is attacking anyone else–not even glaring at anyone else–it moves from “unusual” to “practically unique:.

Now, turn your attention to the lower right corner:
Rhubarb and Yuki aren’t exactly the best of friends. They don’t particularly fight, but Rhubarb generally keeps a wary distance between them. For him to actually play pillow is highly unusual. (Note, by the way, the modified Rhubarbasana pose. Still too tight a curl for my back, but might be useful for beginners.)

Finally, take a close look at Mr. Yuki.
Yes, that white thing really is a whisker, and yes, it does have a ninety degree change of direction. Actually, it’s even more convoluted than it seems in this shot: when seen from the front, it appears to wander off into a previously-unknown dimension–call it Whiskerspace. It’s his only white feature (his ear, lip, and other parts that appear white in this photo are actually black; they’re just reflecting the camera flash). Positively unique!
